As I recall the Austin Healy 3000 had an auto driver IFR radar selection after 10 or 7 beers, similar to the auto setting on the rice cooker. One arrived at their destination on a flying carpet.

Finally!  A scientific explanation that makes sense...I always wondered, but suspected that the overdrive switch worked differently when subjected to beer fumes.

Although I was unencumbered and called a room in the BOQ my home, a profound sense of discretion grounded in current self-preservation prevents me from describing certain "projects" conducted in and around a gold-colored Sunbeam Alpine Gran Turismo Series III convertible roadster back in that time and place -- other than possibly to note that none of them involved making rice.

Something was cooking in Bavaria. It was probably on low and slow.
